Food for Thought

"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire."
~William Butler Yeats

• What does this quote mean to you?

• Are you "lighting the fire" of the children you teach, or extinguishing the flame?

• Are you excited about the possibilities of each day, and do you share your enthusiasm for learning and discovery with the children in your classroom?

• How can you turn your students on to learning?

• What steps can you take to engage every child?

• If you were a child in your classroom would you have fun? Would you enjoy spending the day there?
  

• What is the most important thing you can do each day...? And do you do it?
